Attached is a copy of the Complaint that will be filed this afternoon
against CN Rail regarding the hiring of employees (retirees and others
in similar situations) within the UTU bargaining unit at different rates
of pay and on terms and conditions of employment not provided for in the
Collective Agreement thereby undermining our Application for
Certification. This has also resulted in grievances filed by the TCRC as
these individuals have, on occasion, been utilized to operate
locomotives.

The company’s plan of operation is designed to cause dissention and
division amongst the members whose terms and conditions are governed by
the Collective Agreement and is a violation of the Code. Please
circulate this information to our members so that they are aware of our
course of action.
